Recent research has unveiled a concerning link between prenatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. BPA, a chemical commonly found in plastics, has been detected in various consumer products, including food containers, water bottles, and polyester clothing.
The organic clothing industry is on the rise, and for good reason. As consumers become increasingly aware of the environmental and social impacts of their purchasing decisions, they are seeking out brands that prioritize sustainability and ethical practices. This shift in consumer behavior is driving innovation and change within the industry, paving the way for a more sustainable and equitable future.
In 2024, the fashion industry is at a crossroads. With growing awareness of environmental issues, more consumers are looking for ways to support sustainable fashion brands that prioritize ethical production, eco-friendly materials, and responsible business practices. But with greenwashing on the rise, how can you be sure you're truly making a difference?
The fabrics you choose to wear matter more than you might think. While polyester dominates the clothing industry as a cost-effective and versatile material, organic cotton offers a healthier, more sustainable alternative. But is there really a difference between these fabrics?
We all know the feeling of slipping into a soft, comfy t-shirt. But what if that comfort extended beyond the feel of the fabric? What if it reached into your conscience, knowing your clothing choice contributed to a healthier planet? That's the power of organic cotton.
Polyester is one of the most commonly used fabrics in the world, found in everything from clothing and bedding to upholstery and outdoor gear. Its durability, affordability, and wrinkle resistance make it a popular choice for manufacturers and consumers alike. However, when it comes to safety, especially for clothing that comes into direct contact with your skin, polyester raises some serious concerns. Here's why polyester is not only toxic but also why it shouldn't be worn on your body, particularly in intimate areas like undergarments.
In the ever-evolving world of fashion, trends come and go, but one shift in particular has had a profound impact on both the industry and the environment: the move away from natural fibers like cotton and fur towards synthetic fibers derived from toxic oil.
Plastic bottle clothing, also known as recycled polyester clothing, is made from recycled plastic bottles. While the use of recycled materials in clothing can be a positive step towards sustainability, there are still several reasons why plastic bottle clothing may be problematic, including adverse affects to human health.
Sustainable fashion is the future of clothing for a number of reasons. As consumers become more aware of the environmental and social impacts of the fashion industry, there is a growing demand for clothing that is made in a more sustainable and ethical manner.
According to a 2019 UN report, global clothing production doubled between 2000 and 2014, and the industry is “responsible for 20 percent of total water waste on a global level”.
These are the 6 reasons why polyester should be avoided at all costs.
We are so excited to launch our second product, the men’s performance shirts. You’ll love the incredible details like our no-seam shoulder feature that allows for the best movement possible, or our custom slim fit that hugs the body in all the right ways. The material is made from the highest quality organic cotton in the world and we incorporated an insanely high thread count so it feels extremely soft and has a natural 4-way stretch. It’s also naturally UPF protective, breathable, and extremely durable- we’ve thrown a lot at them and they haven’t budged.
Perhaps the most egregiously understated threat to widespread public health is that of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) on the human hormone system. There’s no way to really measure how common these chemicals are because they’re essentially found in everything from baby products to the clothes on your back.
Falling sperm counts and changes to sexual development are “threatening human survival” and leading to a fertility crisis. And chemicals like plastic and pesticides are to blame, which are found all sorts of household items, like food, clothing, cooking tools, hair and body products, etc.
Over 99% of Climate scientists accept that humans are rapidly accelerating climate change into dangerous areas.
